Suitable for: All ages from pre-school to year 6 with different programmes available for each age range.

Curriculum: Covers aspects of QCA Music Units 1, 7 & 15.

Time needed: 1 hour = 1 Music Man Session - so you can have as many or as few as you want (Maximum 4 in one day) A 'session' can be for an individual class or a whole school - it's up to you!

What Happens: The children get to meet professional children's composer Stuart Ross, who will give up to four music man sessions in one day (of up to an hour each depending on age of children). Each session is in the form of a sort of highly entertaining concert with lots of audience participation. (To give you an idea of what to expect, it was recently pointed out that perhaps this workshop should be renamed as "The Mad Music Man")!!!

Stuart will demonstrate around four different instruments and sing fun songs with the children. Some children in each session would also get to play some of Stuart's instruments including mandolin, keyboard & concertina.

If the size of the participating group is less than 30, Stuart will try hard to let every child have an instrument at some point during the session (even if it's something just simple like a tambourine).

To differentiate with the older children, Stuart uses a different routine involving different songs and information. Stuart may also spend time talking with the children about what it means to be 'a composer' and might even get them to write a quick song with him!

NOW AVAILABLE: GUITAR MUSIC MAN

As an alternative, Stuart can bring along and demonstrate several guitars and guitar like instruments: Acoustic, Electric, Bass, Banjo, Mandolin. If you'd like this option just let us know when you book.
